So if get the lucky number no need to stay with Simba for 24 months? After 6 months can port out without paying penalty?

i not sure. Port out and terminated is different bcos u still using the lucky number. before you port out you will need to pay the 50% penalty and make sure you didn't own them money

For me, i ported in from zym to eight to back to zym within 2 weeks of trying. Data was lagging. Paylah takes 2-3 secs to connect to scan qr for payment. Eight can take up to 8 secs. Happens almost 90% of the time. Too unreliable.

Me and my brother ported over to eight, went down to Ubi to collect the sim card. Now with Singpass to fill in for online port in application, no need to purposely go down to Ubi liao i feel. Collection of sim they just put in the temporary number and activation code nia.

My brother Starhub to eight, on the day itself ported over at night.

I on Zero1, took 3 days for porting, 30th Dec collected Sim card, 1st Jan night ported over. Now on eight.

Got the free $8 credits

no need insert
monitor tonight again

31st is unoffical public holiday as u know
1st is a public holiday

so if the system doesnt move, it can be treated as ok
plus although some may be faster than other, their official stand is typically few working days mah

In JB roaming, using MAXIS can get 5G. But speed very slow, tested to be around 1Mbps. Feel like priority limit.
Using U mobile only 4G. But speed is unlimited, can get 100Mbps

Yeah, I totally agree. It was my first time roaming ib Malaysia with Eight. I was connected to the Maxis network, but the data wasn’t working, even when I turned it off and on (morning ok, afternoon stopped working). I think it might be a Starhub issue, because my brother who uses Giga had the same problem as me.

On the other hand, my parents on Gomo and use Maxis without any issues. They ended up using their hotspot line for internet.

yes same. But I manually selected U Mobile. Very fast, better than MAXIS
